Steve Bannon On H-1B Visas
Steve Bannon delivered a fiery critique centered on the detrimental impact of the H-1B visa program and skilled foreign worker policies on American citizens, particularly in the tech sector. He argued that these programs are “a total and complete scam” designed to exploit labor and undermine U.S. workers by prioritizing lower-cost foreign labor. Bannon emphasized that economic policies should focus on safeguarding the livelihoods and dignity of American workers who built the nation through their contributions.
He accused Silicon Valley elites and corporations of perpetuating a system akin to “indentured servitude,” where foreign workers are brought in under exploitative conditions, displacing skilled American workers. Bannon dismissed claims that foreign workers possess superior skills, challenging proponents to provide evidence, which he claimed they lack.
Bannon criticized influential figures like Elon Musk and David Sacks for advocating reform instead of eliminating these programs, labeling their efforts as capitulation. He tied these practices to broader economic and national security issues, condemning the transfer of manufacturing jobs overseas and the erosion of middle-class stability.
Demanding reparations for displaced American workers, Bannon called for an end to exploitative visa programs and a restoration of opportunities for American citizens. He rejected compromises and group-hug solutions, urging a combative stance to protect American interests. His speech underscored his “America First” philosophy, denouncing the hypocrisy of elites and advocating for policies prioritizing U.S. sovereignty and worker rights.
Steve Bannon: We Demand Reparations For The American Worker
Steve Bannon fiercely condemned the H-1B visa program as a “total and complete scam,” accusing Silicon Valley elites like Elon Musk of exploiting foreign labor to displace skilled American workers. He demanded the complete elimination of the program, deportation of foreign workers, and reparations for Americans whose livelihoods were stolen. Bannon emphasized building a 1932-style coalition to govern for decades, uniting diverse communities under “America First” policies. Rejecting reform or compromise, he attacked claims of racism as deflections from the program’s harmful impacts on middle-class stability and American sovereignty. Bannon linked these issues to broader economic and national security threats, advocating for prioritizing American citizens in tech and manufacturing jobs.
Will Upton Blows Elon Musk’s Foreign Labor Argument Out Of The Water
Steve Bannon and Will Upton criticized the H1B visa program, calling it a “scam” that displaces American workers with cheaper, indentured foreign labor. Citing government data, Upton highlighted a 99.9% visa approval rate in 2023 and a $70,000 pay gap between H1B workers and their U.S. counterparts. He debunked claims that H1B workers are uniquely skilled, noting many possess only basic qualifications. Bannon condemned the system as exploitative, advocating for its complete elimination, deportation of H1B workers, and reparations for displaced Americans. He emphasized that the program was designed to replace domestic workers, benefiting corporations at the expense of U.S. citizens.
Kevin Lynn On H-1B Visas
Steve Bannon and Kevin Lynn criticized the H1B visa program, labeling it a “scam” rooted in the Immigration Act of 1990. Lynn explained that the program was predicated on a false claim of a labor shortage, asserting that in a market economy, labor shortages naturally adjust through higher wages and better conditions, attracting workers to meet demand. He highlighted how Americans, including many women, once dominated the tech sector but were gradually displaced.
Bannon emphatically supported Lynn’s argument, calling for the program’s total elimination and immediate deportation of foreign workers to restore opportunities for U.S. citizens. He described the program as a “Carthaginian con” that betrayed American workers and demanded reparations for the harm done. Both emphasized the need to prioritize hiring Americans to reclaim the stolen futures of domestic tech professionals.
Huynh: "American Culture Is Fundamental To What Gives America The Edge In Terms Of Innovation.”
Steve Bannon and Alicia Huynh discussed her shift from the Democratic Party to MAGA values, citing concerns about cultural and workforce policies. Huynh, a former Big Tech insider, shared insights into the tech industry’s evolution from a predominantly American workforce to reliance on H1B visas for cheaper foreign labor, driven by profit motives. She highlighted the loss of American values and creativity, which she views as the foundation of innovation and risk-taking.
Huynh praised Elon Musk as a visionary focused on advancing humanity but criticized his and others’ reliance on spreadsheets and economic models over human values. She argued that leadership grounded in Judeo-Christian principles and cultural heritage is essential for America’s success.
Huynh’s political shift was fueled by disillusionment with Democratic policies, particularly during COVID-19, citing San Francisco’s rising crime, school closures, and cultural changes like renaming schools and promoting divisive DEI initiatives. She emphasized MAGA’s inclusivity, free speech advocacy, and focus on working-class issues.
Bannon acknowledged Huynh’s perspective, questioning whether figures like Musk fully grasp the exploitative nature of H1B visas. Huynh maintained that fostering leadership rooted in human values rather than metrics is critical for America’s future.
Laura Loomer On The Dark Enlightenment World View Of Big Tech Leaders
Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer discussed the growing influence of Silicon Valley elites, which they describe as a form of “techno-feudalism” or “dark enlightenment.” Loomer explains that this philosophy, backed by figures like Peter Thiel, advocates for a society run like a corporation, where the wealthiest and most intellectually elite control the nation. They envision a shift away from democracy and a move toward a corporatocracy or monarchy. Bannon and Loomer argue that these tech elites, with vast resources and access to power, are seeking to undermine the constitutional republic by infiltrating the government, including the White House. Loomer expresses concern about billionaires like Elon Musk, who, despite supporting Trump, also engage with adversaries like China and Iran, potentially threatening national security.
Loomer also criticizes the influence of tech billionaires who receive government subsidies while simultaneously silencing critics. She argues that their unchecked power, particularly in the Trump administration, could lead to further erosion of democratic processes. Loomer contends that these elites, having shifted support from Ron DeSantis to Trump, are doing so out of self-interest rather than genuine ideological alignment with the America First agenda. The conversation highlights Loomer’s belief that technocratic supremacy is a severe threat to both the nation and humanity. She calls for resistance against this movement and advocates for greater awareness and action to counteract its growing influence.
Kassam Sounds Alarm On Dark Enlightenment Theory Pushing The United States Into Tech Feudalism
Steve Bannon and Raheem Kassam discussed the growing threat of “tech feudalism” and the emerging concept of the “Dark Enlightenment,” emphasizing its impact on the future of democracy and American workers. Kassam highlighted the shift towards a new ruling class, spearheaded by figures like Elon Musk, who challenge traditional democratic structures. They criticized the H-1B visa program, arguing that it undermines American workers by flooding the job market with low-wage foreign labor. The conversation stressed the importance of exposing these elitist plans, warning that unchecked tech power could lead to a future dominated by an oligarchic elite at the expense of the people.
